The linnet bird
Born into direst poverty in Liverpool in the early 19th century, Linny Gow escapes the life of prostitution her stepfather has forced her into, learns how to be a young lady, and flees to India, where the British Raj is in its infancy. There she finds heartache and suffering, but also true love and - perhaps the most important of all - freedom.
